Cellular Shades
Cellular / Honeycomb Shades
The most insulating shade we install — built for Arizona summers.
Overview
Why homeowners in Arizona choose cellular shades.
Cellular shades — also called honeycomb shades — are pleated fabric panels that trap air inside hexagonal cells. That trapped air is the insulator. On a west-facing Arizona window, they measurably reduce heat transfer through the glass.
They're the shade we most often recommend when a client's primary concern is energy efficiency, comfort in a specific room, or lowering summer AC load.
Features
Built for Arizona living.
Best-in-class insulation
Single, double, and cell-in-a-cell constructions each add another layer of trapped air for higher R-value.
Top-down / bottom-up
Lower the shade from the top for daylight and privacy at the same time — ideal for street-facing windows.
Sheer, light-filtering, or blackout
Every cellular fabric we offer is available in multiple opacities to match the room.
Cordless & motorized
Cordless lift is standard for child safety; motorized available for skylights and hard-to-reach windows.

Frequently Asked
Quick answers.
Do cellular shades actually save on my electric bill?
Yes — most measurably on west and south-facing windows in summer. Double-cell and cell-in-a-cell fabrics are the highest performing.
Which is right for bedrooms?
A single-cell or double-cell blackout for full darkness, or a top-down/bottom-up if you want morning light without losing privacy.
Do you install cellular shades on skylights?
Yes, with tensioned track systems designed specifically for skylights and pitched glass.
Are they safe for kids?
Yes — cordless lift is standard and eliminates the strangulation risk of pull cords.
